Abstract

In this present work, we synthesized poly (lactic acid) (PLA)/curcumin composite films using a twin-screw extruder and evaluated their mechanical, optical, thermal, and barrier properties. The composite films were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Universal testing machine (UTM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), ultraviolet-visible spectrometry (UV-visible), colorimetry, goniometry, and oxygen permeation analysis. The results confirmed that, the composite films exhibited better ultraviolet radiation-blocking properties and hydrophobicities than did the reference PLA film. The oxygen and water vapor permeabilities of the composite films were also lower than those of the reference PLA film.
